STAND FOR UMBRELLAS, HATS, COATS, 86C.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 503,708, dated August 22, 1893.

Application filed April 22, 1893.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ANDREW S. ROSS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ridgway, in the county of Elk, State of Pennsyl- Vania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stands for Umbrellas, Hats, Coats, dto., of which the following is a specication, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in stands for umbrellas, hats, coats and the like, and it has for its objects among others to provide a simple, cheap and efticient stand which can be moved from place to place, and easily revolved to get at any one peg, or hat or coat-hung thereon. The lower portion which is adapted to receive the umbrellas is provided with a cock or faucet by which the accumulated vwater may be withdrawn.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will hereinafter appear and the novel features thereof will be specifically defined by the appended claims.

The invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanyingr drawings, which, with the letters of reference marked thereon, forma part of this specication, and in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved stand. Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional view, in a substantially central vertical plane.

Like letters of reference indicate like parts in both of the views.

Referring now to the details of. the drawings by letter, A designates a base or support which may be of any desired form; in this instance being shown as composed of the two pieces arranged at right angles to each other and halved together and secured in a well known manner; it may be as ornamental as desired.

B is the umbrella receiver; it may be of any suitable material, such as sheet metal, or papier mache, which may be treated to render it water-proof, and this receiver in its general shape resembles an umbrella, being provided with corrugations, which increase its receiving capacity, and which serve to keep the umbrellas separated one from the other. This receiver is arranged naturally with its smaller end lowermost as shown and this end Serial No. 471,431. (No model.)

is closed by a Vbottom b which has a central opening and a central upwardly-extending tubular portion B as seen in Fig. 2, preterably integral therewith. Near the lower end this receiver is supplied wit-h a cock or faucet C ot any well known construction through which the accumulated water may be withdrawn, and in order to conduct the water toward the periphery of the receiver I may sometimes provide the inclined bottom c as shown in Fig. 2 which will also serve to strengthen the tubular portion.

Y D is an upright provided with aplurality of pegs d as shown, and this upright is tapered, being larger at its lower end, which is secured to the base A in any suitable manner, and is passed up through the tubular portion B and through a sleeve E located within the receiver near its upper end and supported centrally therein by means of the radial braces e which are secured in any suitable manner to the inner wall of the receiver. The taper of the upright and the corresponding taper of the tubular portion serve to steady the receiver upon its support upon which it is rotatably mounted.

In order that the cock or faucet may-not be injured by contact with the base as the receiver isvrevolved, and to elevate the receiver from the base and render it more easily turned I have provided the flanged collar F which is sleeved upon the upright between the bottom of the receiver and the top ot the base as seen in Fig. 2.

The operation will be readily understood; the umbrellas are placed in the receiver and hats or coats upon the pegs; the receiver can be easily turned to bring any desired umbrella within reach of a person. The device can be made light, yet strong, and will be found very serviceable in private residences as well as in public places.

What I claim as new is 1. A combined hat, coat and umbrella stand, comprising a base, an upright secured thereto and tapered and provided with pegs, an un1- brella receiver having a bottom and a tapered upwardly-extending tubular portion through which the upright loosely passes, a sleeve within the receiver near the upper end and through which the upright loosely passes, and

of the receiver, `and a sleeve within the upper portion of the receiver and connected therewith, the receiverbeing revolubly mounted as and for the purpose specified.

In testimony whereof I aix my signaturein r 5 presence of two Witnesses.
